Enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverage on your private front balcony overlooking the Bay. Watch groups of pelicans glide over the tree tops or spy the resident owl and snow white herons along the waterfront. Oyster men leave early to gather the days harvest and fishermen will pass in front of the building searching for the catch of the day. Some shrimp boats leave the Bay through "Two Mile Channel" directly across from our location and sunset is the best opportunity for beautiful photos of them. Comfy chairs with cushions as well as a quaint bistro table set are provided on the balcony. The HUGE covered deck on the side of the building has two chairs and loveseat with cushions, a large slate tile coffee table and two reclining loungers. There is also a large table and chairs to enjoy meals, snacks or play card or board games when the weather allows. A grill is also supplied for your convenience. Afternoons and evenings are the perfect time to catch a breeze, a nap, or read a book. This is also a favorite spot for drinks, a cigar or grilling out with family and friends. Are you packed yet? Lots of room so everyone can stretch out and have their own space or come together to enjoy this wonderful seaside town. If interested, we can connect you with a fully licensed boat captain. Schedule an eco tour up the river to view the old railroad crossing bridge, river beaches, tupelo trees and perhaps a manatee or alligator. Go out in the Bay and ride through the "cut" to the Gulf of Mexico for a dolphin excursion. Pricing and contact information are provided in our visitors guide. If you are a first time visitor or even a returning regular, you can't run out of places to explore, activities to do, festivals to attend or special events to enjoy. Did we mention the world's best oysters? We are located within minutes of the most beautiful beaches on the "Forgotten Coast". 2 miles from Historic downtown Apalachicola. Only a 10-15 minute drive to St. George Island and just a few more miles to Eastpoint, home of Lynn's seafood, purveyors of genuine Apalachicola Oysters and other seafood (try the smoked mullet dip). Lynn's and The Owl Café were featured in the July 2016 issue of Southern Living. Take a right out of our driveway and you are a short 20 minute drive to Indian Pass Trading Post (those Oysters again), Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, Windmark Beach and Mexico Beach. We ARE about 56 miles from Panama City Beach... in case you miss the crowds. You will have covered parking under the building and plenty of additional space to park your boat/trailer, RV or motorcycles. Please call ahead for info about boat parking!!

About Michelle & Tracey

Tracey & Michelle are considered "semi-retired", although they have never been busier. Managing properties and building Adirondack furniture keeps the schedule full. Both had long careers in retail (sporting goods stores and major gas stations), security, bartending, state and federal law enforcement jobs. They both have entrepreneurial spirits, are nature and animal lovers, and are sports enthusiasts. There is no greater enjoyment now, than taking a ride with good friend and local boat Captain, Cathy Buell and watching the dolphins play!

Michelle & Tracey purchased this Condo in 2015

Why Michelle & Tracey chose Apalachicola

After several visits to this quaint historic town, Tracey & Michelle decided to buy property and make Apalach a more permanent vacation spot. The town is lovely and is a simple, slower pace of life. People are friendly and there is something fun to do every minute. It's a place where neighbors help neighbors and everyone wears a smile!

What makes this Condo unique

This unique property is positioned in the middle of the most beautiful beaches in the white sands of the "Forgotten Coast". It is not overly crowded but busy enough to create excitement with the many fun activities all year long. No matter what time of year you visit, you will have warm to mild temperatures and leave a little room for some "Sunshine in your pocket". You will just fall in love with Apalach.

We were provided with a very useful and helpful visitor guide, and plenty supplies for cooking and cleaning. It's also great for kids too, as there were some movies that might be appealing to them. Overall, the house was very visually appealing and the presence of many other appliances (such as powerful cooling system) enhanced our time there.

Amazing! So clean! Michelle and Tracey thought of it all! Very cozy. The stairs didn’t bother us or our 5 year old boy twins.

We made a last minute decision to visit a different area of Florida/Alabama rather than the normal visits to Destin, Ft Morgan, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We were more than pleasantly surprised with this house! It's truly a home away from home. It has everything you need in stock, tastefully decorated, quite surroundings and just minutes away from downtown Apalachicola.

We brought our 10 month baby and the house was very baby friendly providing lots of room for her to crawl and play. There are even children's DVDs included.

The outside decks are wonderful. They both provide a roomy and comfortable place to unwind, talk and listen to music (a speaker system was also provided). It was so relaxing as we drank our coffee in the morning and wine in the evening.

I can't even begin to describe how comfy the furniture and beds are! We slept in later than usual finding it hard to leave the comfy beds.

There is so much to do within a short drive. Downtown Apalachicola is so quaint. We spent time enjoying shopping at the square stores and really enjoyed DELICIOUS food at both Apalachicola's Owl Cafe and Tap Room. The drives across the bridges to St George Island were breathtaking and relaxing. The beaches at St George were beautiful and the Oysters are a MUST! Both Harry A's and Paddy's Raw Bar have wonderful fresh oysters.

Location A+. We loved the fact that this house is situated in between Port St Joe and St George. No matter which route you take on U.S. Highway 98 you end up somewhere really awesome.

Thank you for making our first trip to Apalachicola a great experience that we are still talking about. We will be back my friends because you gals are the hostesses that ROCK !!

Next time we promise to have that delicious pound cake and even more improvements to the property!!! See y'all soon friends!! Looks like the new oyster nursery across from us will be up and running soon and we will have even more options for delicious fresh oysters!! Much appreciation, Michelle and Tracey

Very well maintained, clean and simple to find

Very nice place, only issue is we didn't realize it was on the second floor with lots of stairs to climb and we had my elderly father with us who has had hips, I really think that needs to be noted in descriptions, if it was I missed it, other than that I would definitely recommend

Submitted Jul 6, 2018

Owner's Response:

Tracey, thanks for your comments. We would like to point out that we note that this unit is on the 2nd floor and we do not have an elevator. Terribly sorry this was an issue but our suggestion would be to ask that question to make sure it is an easier accessible unit prior to booking. Thanks again for staying with us and glad you had some quality time in paradise!!!
